' "Tho story f t ho search for tho source
of tho MiHKihl,:t.i leads like a roiuuuce.
After tho (iiM ovny ol l ho upper river in
1( ?.( by .lull, t and Marquette, and the
iliHoovery of the falls of St. Anthony iu
KitjO, by Hennepin, little mora was
known of the I'm her of Waters for near
ly a century lu I TOO Captain Jonathan
Curver ascended the stream ns far as the
mouth of Kum river lu 1708 the fa
mous English astronomer and surveyor,
U.ivid ThompHon, iu the service of the j
norm west company, rcocnon luruo
Inke. This lake, which sends a tributary
to tho Mississippi, was for some time
supposed to be tho source.
"Tho first white man known to have
visited tho neighborhood of the actual
source of the Mississippi was William
Morrison, a fur trader, who was certain
ly at Lake Itasca in 1803 or 1804. He
never published anything on the sub
ject, and it is only very recently that
his priority of discovery has been knowu.
The next explorer of the sources of the
river was Lieutenant Zebnlou Mont
gomery Pike. He was the first American
citizen to carry the flag of the United
States into northern Minnesota. He was
sent by the government to treat with
the Indians and stop the sale of liquor
in thatregion luoidontally he purchased
for f 280 and some whisky a tract of
land nine miles square, which included
the present site of Minneapolis. Con
gross subsequently voted an additional
payment to the Indians for this tract of
12,000
"Lieutenant Pike proceeded by boat
to the vicinity of the present Little Falls
in Morrison county, Minn. He got no
farther with boats, aud so continued his
Journey throngb the winter of 1806-6 on
snowshoes and with slodgos northward.
He finally reaohod Loech hike This lake
he mistook for the source of the Missis
sippi, and his report on this subject was
held to be oorreot for some years after
ward. "In 1830 the Hon. Lewis Cass, ac
companied by Henry R. Schooloraft, the
historian, went on an exploring expedi
tion np the Mississippi as far as ('ass
lake, so named at the time by School
craft In 182S an Italian travoler, J. G.
BeJtrami, went over David Thompson's
route to Turtle lake and reported that
lake to be the true souroe. Evidently,
however, be beard from the Indians
about Lake Itasca, for he mapped it with
approximate aoouraoy, though he was
never there and did not imagine that
tha Father of Waters sprang thence.
"Lake Itasca was rediscovered in
1M2, when Schoolcraft, accompanied by
Lieutenant Allen, United States army;
tha Rev Mr. Boutwell and others, was
guided to the lake by a Chippewa India-,
known as Yellow Head. On this
occasion Lake Itasca received its present
name, which was made up of parts of
the words Veritas Caput, signifying the
'true head' of the river. The Latin was
bad, for it ought to have been Verum
Caput The lake had previously been
known by the Frenoh nam of Lao a la
Bicbes, meaning Elk Lake. This was a
translation of the Chippewa Omoshkoa
Sogiagon.
"Sohooloraft'i party made an exami
nation of Lake Itasca, being satisfied
that they had found the true souroe of
the Mississippi Not again until 1888
did any scieutiflo man visit the spot
This was a Frenchman, J N Nioollet,
who tried to asoertain the souroe of the
feeders of Lake Itasca Exploring south
ward, he reaohed the springs from which
the infant river takes its rise. It should
be understood that the Mississippi runs
from its souroe directly northward for a
distance of 60 miles before turning about
in a sort of fishhook bend and starting
southward, To the baby stream, before it
enters Lake Itasca, Nioollet gave the po
etio name of 'Cradled Achilles. ' He es
tablished its oonrse in oonueotion with
three small lakes, sinoe named Upper,
Middle and Lower Nioollet lakes that
is to say, he fonnd that the little river
ran through two of these small lakes
and oounected with the third. This ex
plorer mapped the whole of the Itascan
basin and determined the latitude, lon
gitude and altitude with such accuracy
that subsequent surveys have only con
firmed and amplified his observations.
"The whole subject of which I have
been speaking was befogged and thrown
into dispute recently by a certain Cap
tain Glazier, who, apparently for no
other pnrposo than to advertise himself,
published his alleged discovery of a now
mill true sonrce of tho Mississippi By
reducing tho size of Lake Itasca, ignor
ing Nicollet's Cradled Achilles, magni
fying a small side lake which ho called
Lake Ulazier, anil by stretching out one
f tho feeders of the latter, he produced
a distorted map which actually imposed
on thn Royal Geographical society of
Great Britain Many of tho errors thus
originated have crept Into the standard
maps of the United States
"It may be said that there is nothing
further to be learned abont the true
source of the Father of Waters. As a
matter of essential fact, the trno Upper
Mississippi is the river called the Mis

KID GLOVES.
Interesting Fact About tha Kleins Which
Cover or Adorn ttie Hand.
Barefooted boys nml hens form a curi
ous partnership in tho making of n pair
of fliio gloves. '
They work together in preparing the
skins for tho hands of the fashionable
woman who rushes to the stores every
time a new shade of glove is announced.
Thousands of dozens of liens' eggs are
used iu curing tho hides, and thousands
of boys are employed to work the skins
in cloar water by treading on them for
soveral hours.
When a woman buys a pair of gloves,
she speaks of her purchase ns "kids."
If the clerk who sold her the "kid"
gloves knew the secrets of the glove
making business, he might surprise his
fair customer by tolling her tliut those
beautiful, soft, smooth fitting "kid"
gloves came from the shoulders and
belly of a 8-weeks-old oolt whoso neck
was slit on the plains of Russia, and
whose tender bide was shipped with
hugo bundles of other cults' hides to
France, where they were made up into
"kid" glovos, or he might with equal
regard to the truth tell her that those
gloves in the other coinpartruont once
darted from tree to tree lu South Amor
lea on the back of a ring tailed mou
key Aud it ho made the rounds of the
store and could distinguish one skin
from another he oould poiut ont "kid"
gloves made from tho skins of kangaroos
from Australia; lambs or sheep from
Ohio or Spain or England; calves from
India, nmskrats from anywhere, musk
oxen from China and other parts of
Asia; rats, eats and Newfoundland pop
pies. But the little Russian oolt, the four
footed baby from tire plains where the
Cossacks live, the oolt from the steppes
of Siberia, where horses are raised by
the thousand, supply the skitm which
are the favorites at present with the
glovemakers. Experts say that the colt
skin makes abetter, stronger, finer glove
than real kidskin, and as the oolt is a
little follow only t weeks old when he
is killed but a small amount of skin can
be made into gloves, so that tho prion is
about as high.
But, af tor all, the real kid, the live
ly infant of the floats which live in
Franoo, Switzerland, Spain and Italy,
furnishes the best, finest and most ex
pensive gloves, and nearly 10,000,000
kids are sacrificed every year in order
that women aud mon may cramp their
bands in wrinkloloss, delicate hued
gloves. Chicago Record.
Klotscbleseea What fa lit
Under the titleof "A Game We Might
Play," the Marquis of Lorne in Good
Words puts in a plea for an open air

northern Europe which has for oeuturies
enjoyed a sort of national reputation.
It is a rough tort of golf, played with
out clubs or boles, is Inexpensive and
can be played by two single opponents

the popularity of the game and of the

is pointed ont that in England there are
many districts, especially in tha east of
the island, wbioh are peculiarly well
adapted to the game, there being in these
parts mnob flat land where winter
makes the ground hard, Wherever these
conditions exist, there, we are told, the
"klotsohiessen, " or "olotshot" game

THE QUEEN BEE.

of "workers" are in some senses the real

never leaves tho hive, only ou the one
occasion of her bridal tonr. Selecting
some ono for her husband, she invites
him out to go with her and their con

BRUSSELS AND TAPESTRY.
The Dtflerenre Itetween These Two Kinds
of Carpet Explained.
By placing a brusscls and tapestry
carpot side by side a clearness and
sbarpuoss are noticed abont thebrussols
carpet which are absent from tho tapes
try Iu the latter there is a mistiness
about the colors, and the pattern lacks
that sharpness and dolioacy which char
acterize the former. This is due to the
process of manufacture. A brnssols is a
yarn dyed, aud a tapestry may be de
scribed as a printed fabric, but the print
ing is done upon the yarn before the
process of weaving.
The whole method of manufacture is
most ingenious. In the making of a five
frame brusscls no fewer than 1,280 ends
of face yams are required for the weav
ing of one pieoe of standard quality,
ach frame consisting of 266 bobbins,
and 266 ends only can oome to tho face
at each piok of the pattern. Therefore
1,034 ends of yarn am hidden in the
body of the fabrio. There are many
qualities of tapestry, tret in the produc
tion of the standard quality only 216
ends of face yarn are required, instead
of 1,280, whioh shows at onoe that the
brussels carpet has the great advantage
of being thicker, softer and altogether a
more durable cloth apart from other ad
vantages whioh it possesses. There la
limitation In the number of colors used
in a brussels. In tapestry there is no
limit In the brussels the whole of the
oolors used show a mora or less striped
appearance at the back of the fabric
In a tapestry they do not show at the
back at alL This fact is made use of by
householders In purohasing carpets, this
being about the only way the average
person can tell the difference between
them. In order to pass off tapestry as
brussels some ingenious makers have
resorted to the striping in a regular
manner of the backs of the former. The
stripy effeot in the latter is broken and
irregular. A casual observation of the
dearly defined character of a brnssols
pattern should enable a buyer to distin
guish between the two fabrios. Fur
